We’d like to update you on the current crisis in Spain. On Tuesday, October 29th, unprecedented heavy rainfall took place across the eastern and southern regions, and it has continued to rain there throughout this past week. These severe rainstorms have caused flash flooding and extreme damage throughout the region.

It’s difficult to see our fellow citizens and neighbors going through such an unthinkable situation. We send our deepest condolences to those affected by this tragedy. Many people all over Spain have been donating supplies and food to those in need. There are also many generous volunteers that have been working tirelessly to provide help to their neighbors and clean up the debris. Through these events we have seen just how remarkable Spaniards are. Their solidarity, strength, selflessness and determination are truly inspiring.

Our hearts are with all of you during this difficult time.
